I'd still like to see local sports info as well, even for minor league / lesser known teams. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Saw it today and really enjoyed it. It's also much more family friendly than Ed Alonzo was, which is a nice change. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

This popped up on the mobile site today (it wasn't there earlier so I don't know when it was added). Go to the site from a mobile device and tap on Best Day Contest. This is all the info I have. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Apparently, Line Jumping IS an Accepted Sporting Event at KI Now :)

I'm sure it was brought to her attention that park employment is not an excuse for ignoring the rules. I don't know that there's much they could do about it otherwise, but hopefully that embarrassment and being told she couldn't ride were enough. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk -
Thunderbird has launched!

Possible Florida Vacation- Summer 2014

Also, on your way down, be sure to stop and "See Rock City" (as numerous barn roofs and billboards will tell you). It's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the visit. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk -
Holiday World advice/tips

I will definitely consider it, since I'll always be able to cancel my reservation if I can't make it. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk -
Holiday World advice/tips
Oldiesmann replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Even with construction, I'll still want to leave Saturday to save the extra $67 in hotel costs from staying another night. Hopefully between Saturday and Sunday I'll be able to do everything I want. What kind of a discount would I be able to get on a two-day ticket? AAA doesn't sell them and festival + two day admission is $92 through the park's website.

Holiday World advice/tips
Oldiesmann replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I am hoping to get to the park within 30 minutes of the time they open. Since the park isn't open Friday night I'll be saving money by just driving out there early Saturday morning instead of Friday night as I had originally planned. I'm not too interested in discount tickets unless they can be obtained for less than $35 (the park has a combined festival/admission ticket for $65 on their website and the festival is $30 if you already have park admission). -
I am currently planning a possible trip to Holiday World for the "Rock The World" Christian Music Festival in late August. After some research and such, here is my current plan (again, this is still in the planning stages - nothing will be purchased or booked until much closer to the date I plan to visit...): Leave here early Saturday morning (8:30-9am Eastern probably), arriving at Holiday World around 10 or 10:30 Central (I'm a little over 2 1/2 hours from the park). Spend all day at the park Saturday, spend the night, drive back sometime Sunday. I will likely be staying at the Motel 6 in Dale as it's 10 minutes from the park and $60 a night. However, having never been to Holiday World before, I have a couple questions: One day or two? I want to do as much as possible (including both water coasters and possibly the log flume and rapids rides as well, though that's about it as far as the water park goes). Can I realistically cram most of the park into a 9-hour day, even with the larger crowds that will likely be there that day? What are some of the "must do" attractions besides the roller coasters and water rides that I've already mentioned?

I personally would like to see a Tom+Chee at the park. They'd probably not be able to offer a full menu there, but it's still a great option. (If you don't know what Tom+Chee is, see http://www.tomandchee.com for more info) Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

The park said it was scrapped. What more are you looking for? Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

That doesn't sound familiar, but I don't know. I was there in August of 2010. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Based on the report, it looks like people are linking to malicious sites on memegenerator (probably in comments or similar). The report itself specifically says the site doesn't host malware. In the future it would probably be best to save the meme to your computer then upload it to a photo hosting site. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

The "slice" of fudge is still a better deal - get a large slab of fudge for $6.99. They also give you a free slice if you buy 2. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

And yet they still put an apostrophe in "Kings". Sigh...

I was less surprised at that than at the kids' version of Michael W. Smith's "Friends" that I heard yesterday. Of course, this is the same park that also plays a kids' rendition of "Maniac" from the movie Flashdance, which is far from family friendly (the movie, not the song).

Small things that need changed at Kings Island.
Oldiesmann replied to OpSonofBeast's topic in Kings Island
Starlight Spectacular looked great the first year or so, although it was a bit confusing as to when the actual "show" part of it was. The problem is it wasn't maintained. LEDs weren't replaced when they went out, etc. By last season it had become a joke and an eyesore. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk -
Ok, so 4 rides, one of which wasn't open on the day I went :/
-
Spider is gone now too? That makes 3 rides now (counting Dodgem and Hot Cat) that have been removed since I was last there. Spider was fun too - a smaller more intense version of Monster.
-
A sign shop tour would be great. I've heard great things about that.

As far as charging your phone at the park goes, get a portable cell phone charger. They're readily available on Amazon for around $30 depending on brand and capacity. I bought a Jackery Bar and love it. It fits nicely in my pocket and keeps my phone charged while I'm in the park. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk -
There used to be a generic "theme park wait times" app (I think it was calls Ride Hopper), but as it relied on users to keep it up to date, so it wasn't reliable most of the time. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

May 15, 2014: Holiday World Free Day PTR (with presumed 2015 clues)
Oldiesmann replied to jcgoble3's topic in Trip Reports
Those photos of Voyage make me even more determined to make it to Holiday World this summer. Maybe in August or September...
